The old
pioneer clock brought to Salt Lake City originated in the iron works of Robert
Wood & Co. of Philadelphia in 1870. The 18-foot-tall clock was proudly
placed on the corner of First South and Main Street and instantly became a
focal point in downtown Salt Lake City. Its early clock works were driven by a
water wheel. A tunnel was dug beneath the Zion’s Bank building on the same
corner and a stream of water was diverted form City Creek to turn the wheel. The
water wheel later was replaced with four springs that kept it going five days
between windings; they, in turn, were replaced with wet-cell batteries that
could keep the clock running for up to six months. By 1912, a master clock had
been installed at the bank to which the pioneer clock was then attached.
